Access will be thru the front gate (Pleasanton Ave. by the ACE station.) So let’s meet at the club and do some cleanup/maintenance.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>After this Friday, we will be meeting on Thursday nights leading up to the Good Guys. We need to know who will be participating by Friday, the 13<sup>th</sup>. That’s day after tomorrow. We need time to have the Good Guys mail the passes and then a couple Thursday night to distribute. <sup> </sup><o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Next Thursday the Fair will provide a dumpster for us to load up with our crap.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Access to the grounds on Friday nights is dependent upon the type, size, and location, amongst other things. The Night Market gives the Fair a real challenge in that all attendees are to use Gates 8 and 12. However, the Fair leaves the front or Pleasanton Ave gate open for access to the golf course. The Night Market events are heavily attended and they are having problems with people jumping fences and being in areas that are fenced off from the event. Thus there is concern with mixing our car traffic with that situation. We’ll have to continue to coordinate with Beth as events arise. <o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>We will likely have access to the grounds the Friday night of Labor Day weekend which is usually Scottish Games setup night, but they will likely be up at the front part of the Fair and we will use Gate 12. Smaller event than in the past.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>While talking with Beth, one of the Fair’s maintenance guys came in and started talking about upgrading our lighting with LED’s. This would be during the winter. I’m not sure how much of that has already been done by Joel and others, but let’s not look a gift horse in the mouth. There may be some upgrades that can be done jointly to improve what we have. <o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>For the everyone, when you come in the front door and hit the light switch for the entry lights, they won’t turn on and pushing the little button will not turn on the HO fluorescents. That’s because the relays which are activated by the little buttons are apparently shot. None of the button panels will turn the light on or off. However, if you walk part way up the stairs to the second breaker box, open it and flip on breaker 17 near the bottom, the HO fluorescents will turn on along with the entry lights. Not a good long term arrangement, but the lights can be turned on and off at the breaker box. Sounds like a relay replacement is in order and if the fluorescents have all been replaced with LEDs, we could probably do away with the relays and button boxes and go to standard switches (provided high voltage wiring was used of the relay buttons). I’ll be talking to Joel about the issue. <o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>We need your help in getting ready for the Good Guys.<o:p></o:p></li></ol><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Gary<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
